Our agreement with ANZ

for cover under any section of this Travel Master Policy. About your right of access to cover

ANZ has taken out this Travel Master Policy and has done so under a master policy arrangement with QBE for the period of insurance. The cover under this Travel Master Policy is provided to you at no additional cost and ANZ does not receive any commission or remuneration from QBE for arranging the Travel Master Policy.

Access to the Travel Master Policy is provided to you if you meet the eligibility criteria and is provided to you solely by operation of section 48 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth).

You have no right to cancel or vary the Travel Master Policy, only ANZ (as the contracting insured) and QBE can do this. If ANZ and QBE do so, we do not need to obtain your consent.

We only send notices to ANZ which is the only entity we have contractual obligations to under this Travel Master Policy.

(22)

You are not obliged to accept any of the benefits of the Travel Master Policy but if you wish to make a claim, you will be bound by the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions set out in these Travel Master Policy terms and conditions.

ANZ does not:

> act on behalf of us or you in relation to the Travel Master Policy;

> provide, and is not authorised to provide, any financial product advice, recommendations or opinions about the coverage; and

> receive any remuneration or other benefits from us. If you are seeking access to the benefit of this Travel Master Policy, you should consider obtaining advice as to whether it is appropriate for your needs from a person who is licensed to give such advice. Nothing prevents you from entering into other arrangements regarding insurance.

ANZ may terminate or amend the Travel Master Policy with QBE at any time and if this happens ANZ will provide written notification to you. Notice will be deemed to take effect either:

a. on the third day after the date of the notice; or b. In the event that you are on a trip and cannot be

contacted, immediately upon your return to your place of residence following your trip.
